I will be doing some more work this weekend since the remaining of the work seems ro be all up front. After laying down and mocking the RCA wire that is needs to be ran to the rear, I will then permanently install the panel, seal it, deaden it and anymore final adjustments needed to finalize on the panel and the interior back in the vehicle.
... so, YES Rockstar143, more work and PICTURES tom come soon

Ok fellas, again... Sorry for the neglect to the faithful and the lurking in the dark who never post 
As of late, I been having issues or a break in communication with my wire installer so I am stuck until something shows itself as a solution. Another reason for delay and neglect of posting here at all is I been stricken with a bacterial stomach virus as of late... I would not wish this on my enemy. Today is my first day of full relief and able to eat and function again.
Going back to what I asked a few post ago, I purchased some locally available deadening at a car audio warehouse called BALLISTIC. I have heard or seen post/comments of the stuff through GOOGLE when I was searching for deadening options. Stuff seems to be just as good so far while applying as DYNAMAT. Sticks very very well and seems to apply even easier. Anyways, I decided to install some in the trunk while on my down time with completing the wiring. No need for time wasted when there is still work to be completed. As you can see, I am NOT looking for perfection or 100% coverage, just spot layering around the OEM stuff.
So here it is gents:

Interesting Josh....Acura's are supposed to be known for being quiet. This will help.

Josh, did you switch over to working hourly?!?! Your progress has come to a screeching halt! At the rate you were going before, you would be putting in your last speaker today!
Looks great, man...all that good quality stuff, and taking your time will pay off in the end. I'm glad you went IB...I'll be able to enjoy it form here. OH, and keep that master template, I'll probably buy a copy if I ever do end up doing IB.

*REMINDER* I have no interior from front seats back! So, the road noise, suspension and misc noises can be obvious and annoying at times. But this morning was pretty damn quiet and almost had a smoother feel of a ride. And this is only said for the driving aspect of it. The main purpose of the deadening is for the sound quality, in and outside the vehicle. Inside should present a higher quality sound letting me to enjoy the tunes rather then additional unnecessary or unwanted noises in the back ground. Outside the vehicle more of a clean muzzled punch of sound rather then the annoying tin can rattling, body parts shaking, bolts loosening sound you get with most cars you hear at a stop light...lol
Going back to the doors. This goes for the doors as well. When I completed the doors, I noticed they shut with a firm quiet thud as if air tight shut or seal sound...hard to explain but it sound soild and less hollow. When I first heard this I actually had to check 2x to see if the door was shut completely since the sound was off to my ears and odd at first. I believe this also was a immediate result from the door kits.
So yeah, so far so good. The deadening is already showing its promise.

This was suppose to be done this weekend that just passed. Either way, the end is near son. 
Hopefully, very excited, praised, joyful regards/feedback to this project blowing my expectations of just wanting a nice audio upgrade.

You mean after the audio is fully complete and satisfied with?... IDK. My #1 priority at this moment is this audio and getting it exactly how I want it or expect. When the audio is complete and all the interior is in place, I will have to re-adj the suspension height and camber to get the ideal look I am shootin for.
Afterwards, I been thinking of changing the color of my brake calipers. Perhaps to TEAL/Turquoise of some sort from the red it is now. I also been really thinking about a YAKIMA roof rack. I think that will look sweet with the over all look I have. That is about it i guess...

Yeah I understand but you are years ahead of most TLs so I wouldn't be too worried. Plus your car is a looker no matter how you look at it Haha you even got a stalker in this thread https://acurazine.com/forums/showthread.php?t=864726
Haha you even got a stalker in this thread https://acurazine.com/forums/showthread.php?t=864726Nah, for real, that's cool. I am glad someone was impressed when they saw my car. Its also nice to span the TAMPA fam for future meet & greets...if they can ever happen
Speaking of car meets... I am off from work on the 24th and from the look of things, my IB will be done by then and the car should be all buttoned up for a sneek peek possibly. I just may troll on by...

Today's update consist of laying down a little bit off more deadening, mainly around the area where the panel will be installed to help start the seal between the interior to trunk. The material was lead in the area is working as a primary gasket. Later when the panel get installed, the final stages will be sealed up around the front of the panel and the cars metal interior. No pics of today's update since they where minor installs but I will take pictures of today's update when beginning of the final stages begin showing u where i left off till the end.

Bout muthafreekin time! Moving right along people. Sorry to disappoint all my followers of such dead air and no progress. But here it is back on track. Dropped off my car late yesterday afternoon at a buddy's audio shop where he has been working for years! Dude went straight to work and got it done by this afternoon and just what I asked for. Matrix installed, wiring/remote/rcs's/2x passive crossovers and Prefabbed 7in Dual monitors headrest kit with built in DVD player all installed...for a KILLER PRICE! The rest, is up to me now to install, seal the panel, clean it up and install the interior.
